They are real “superfoods”, and might be growing already next to you.
Edible Flowers
Not only they add a splash of color and detail to salads, but they are also quite tasty.
Foraging chestnuts
Chestnuts are specially rewarding to glean from public trees. No ladder needed, they fall to the ground when ripe. It’s important not to get confused with the non-edible type of chestnut.
Cucamelons
They look like tiny watermelons and taste like cucumber with a hint of lime. They are also very easy to grow.
June brings strawberries
These are big but we also have lots of tiny wild strawberries. They taste a bit like raspberries and make an excellent ground cover.
Snowed rockets
I can still snack on a few spicy bolted rocket leaves since they keep going in sub-freezing January temperatures.
Tomato crop of the day
Both these plants grew from seeds of tomatoes I bought to eat. I was pleased with their taste so I planted them.
Fresh snack of strawberries
These are tiny but pack an incredible amount of flavor in one fruit.
